Coming soon!

Get Active! In 2011 and 2012 we developed information about physical activity and exercise in our Activity of the Month feature. We have repackaged this into fact sheets about seven different forms of physical activity suitable for people with RMDs and a page of expert advice. All these items will also be available as design templates in the Tools for You.

'Living Better, Ageing Well' features. We are planning a series of features to cover a range of aspects affecting people with RMDs as they grow up and older. The first feature is about Healthy Living and will cover topics such as Good Nutrition, Lifestyle Choices, and Emotional Wellbeing.

Watch this space - exciting competition launching on 12 October - World Arthritis Day 2013.

Changes to the website

If you are a regular user of this site you will notice some changes. We have renamed the tabs at the top of the page. 'Tools for You' is where you will find information for individuals, design templates for local adaption and translation and toolkits for organisations and campaigners. In the next month we will be completely redesigning these pages to make it easier for you to browse and find information and resources.

Highlights from 2012

Below are some highlights from our 2012 ‘Move to Improve’ and ‘Waving for World Arthritis Day’ campaigns. If you have any photos and details of your WAD campaigns, please share them on the Events page.
